On your way around Sorrento's city center, you're bound to pass this piazza since it connects the…read morepedestrian only zones to the part of town with many hotels, summer apartments and leads to more local residential areas. Restaurants, cafes, hotels and a couple miscellaneous shops and church buildings line this thoroughfare. The car traffic coupled with many pedestrians constantly crossing, I'd warn drivers to be very careful in this area! A statue of Saint Antoninus of Sorrento, patron saint of the city, stands in the center, a salutation to those entering the historic old town. On the north edge, the sidewalk overlooks and connects to stairs that descend down to a hairpin turn in the road at the base. On the southern edge, there's a deep ravine (Vallone dei Mulini) filled with plants, trees and shrubs, and an old abandoned mill?), smack dab in the middle of the block. Constantly tourists take pictures here day and night lol. Walking thru here about a dozen times over the course of two days, there wasn't ever a quiet moment, even during shoulder season. Restaurants are busy being that it's such a central meet up point. Perhaps only at around 7am one day when most tourists were still sleeping was it quieter with only locals out and about.

Piazza Tasso is a lovely square in Sorrento…read more Lucky to stumble across a local festival on our cruise ship tour to Sorrento and Pompeii. Our tour guide was not sure what they were celebrating. Take time to check out the beautiful baroque yellow church and everything Limoncello while you are in the neighborhood. The lemons in Sorrento are enormous and the geography reflects their impact. Limoncello granitas. Lemon pasta. Lemon biscotti. Lemons on everything from dish towels, baskets and bags to headbands. My sister-in-law even bought a pair of swim shorts that were covered with a large lemons in the pattern. Nice for a short stop while exploring Sorrento. Tip: There is a bathroom next to the church. It takes one euro each.

Standing at the foot of the famous steps of Amalfi Cathedral (aka Duomo di Amalfi Or Cattedrale di…read moreSant'Andrea), it's hard not to stop and take in how beautiful this place is. Located in Piazza Duomo, the cathedral is one of Amalfi's most important landmarks and dates back to the 10th century, when it was built under Duke Manso I. Over the centuries, it has been rebuilt and redecorated, blending Romanesque, Baroque and other architectural influences. Most famously, it is home to the relics of the Apostle Andrew, which were brought to Amalfi in 1208 and remain in the cathedral's crypt. We climbed the steps, purchased our modestly priced tickets, and started by walking through the Cloister of Paradise, with its beautiful arches and columns. We browsed some of the exhibits before heading down into the crypt, where St. Andrew is said to be laid to rest. The crypt was probably my favorite part--beautifully and intricately decorated, with detailed frescoes, gilded stucco and a large bronze statue of the apostle at the altar. We then made our way into the cathedral itself and spent some time soaking in the beautiful architecture. There's quite a bit to see here without needing a huge amount of time, took us maybe 30-40 minutes to make our way through. The cathedral is conveniently located right in the center of Amalfi, making it an easy addition to any itinerary. Overall, I enjoyed our visit. It's beautiful, historic and definitely worth climbing those steps for. The green marble and intricate details reminded me of the Cathedral in Siena, which was one of the most beautiful cathedrals I've ever been to. Definitely take the time to go inside rather than simply admiring the cathedral from the piazza if you have the time.

This piazza is dominated by the Duomo or Cathedral of Amalfi, set high on top of steep, wide steps. There is a fountain here, water coming from the lady's breasts. So weird just like Manneken Piss in Brussels. I would recommend you guys visit the shops here, they are so beautiful. I wanted to buy so much stuff. I bought wall decor for my house, Ravello lemon is very famous and juice ( or wine) in bottles are for sale at every shop. Restaurants are just at the foot of the cathedral. It's like any European city just on a small scale. So beautiful

At the top, you're right at the crater. Just you, the edge, and a very real reminder of what it is.

I would not advise you to try and make it to the top if you aren't athletic. Just go up a little ways and get some photos.

All in all, an excellent excursion that I suggest you visit, if you have the time.

Truly amazing to experience the well preserved and restored lands of a roman town with a story that is truly amazing. It does get a bit hot in the summer though which is when we visited (July 2026) so I recommend bringing as much tools to help you with the heat such as cooling towels or ice water, hats, shades, sun screen. There is a cafe at the end of the tour which is nice and clean restrooms. I am awarding 5 stars because truly anything less is disrespectful and undeserved for this amazing site made available to the public. Highlight of Pompeii!
